About this sunscreen
The Beesline Apitherapy Whitening Serum is a mineral product using titanium dioxide as its only listed UV filter. It carries a balanced finish, low white cast and a lightweight feel, and does not commonly sting, with a low breakout-trigger rating. Protection is rated weak, which suits it more as a brightening serve than as standalone sun defense. The score of 49.0/100 reflects that limited protection, so pair it with a dedicated high-SPF sunscreen.
